The possible options to renew the visa of a company owner while being abroad

I have been in Dubai for 17 years and have a Dubai Media City Freezone company, of which I am 100% owner. I am leaving to Australia in the coming months but I will keep the company open here.

I have 1 full-time employee working here in Dubai Media City. I just renewed my UAE Visa for 3 years and I will be working from Australia doing the same job.

I also plan to fly back to Dubai every 6 months or so for work trips to see clients. However, at the moment with COVID-19, it is likely once I am in Australia, I will not be able to travel back to Dubai until after COVID-19, which could, of course, be up to 1 year.

What are my options? Will my UAE Visa automatically be cancelled after 6 months?

Are there any other options for me? And what happens to my company which is registered in Dubai Media City if my visa is cancelled?

Will this also be automatically cancelled too?

Dear Client,

Good day!

Though your visa will be canceled, your company designation will not be canceled. It will stay as it is, there's nothing wrong that's going to happen to your company.

Please provide us with your documents and also the confirmation, we will request the authorities if they can process the visa with you being outside the country.

However, there is a possibility it will be rejected, but it's worth a try.

For further assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone or email.

Thank you!
